Technology Inventory Survey

We are building a data collection system to benefit all Washington state law enforcement agencies and enhance public safety through evidence-based policing.

We distributed a survey to law enforcement agencies requesting their participation in a technology inventory survey to help us understand technology resources, needs, and preferences at each agency—which in turn will help the WADEPS team develop a system that meets agencies where they are and does not unnecessarily create additional data entry work.

The survey requested information on call-assisted dispatch software, counts of agency officers and professional staff, contact information for data collection and training, and other information to assist in developing the WADEPS platform.

Responses will also help us identify computer-assisted dispatch (CAD) vendors being used by Washington law enforcement agencies which will aid development of automated technology solutions for reporting data required by the state.

Law Enforcement Agency leaders:
If you did not receive a technology information survey, please send your name, title, agency name, and email address to wa.deps@wsu.edu.
